The first time Song Yao met Zhao Lulan was at a gathering her boyfriend had organized.
She was still in college then, dressed like a sweet, well-behaved student, but her beauty was strikingly lush, and her pair of foxlike eyes were especially alluring.
Zhao Lulan lifted his head through the swirling smoke, his chilling, captivating gaze settling on Song Yao.
The friend beside him turned and murmured, "What, is she your type?"
"No." Zhao Lulan shrugged. "Too well-behaved."
His friend stared at Song Yao's face for a long while, deciding Zhao Lulan had to be blind.
No one but him would think Song Yao looked well-behaved.

Years later, in the second month after Song Yao graduated and returned to the country, she married Zhao Lulan.
Zhao Lulan came from a distinguished family, had a successful career, and was exceptionally handsome. He had a sterling reputation for keeping women at arm's length, cold and dispassionate.
Especially since, she'd heard he didn't like her type.
Song Yao felt at ease entering a marriage of convenience with someone like him.
After their wedding, Zhao Lulan acted just as she had imagined: proper in word and deed, disciplined and courteous, always keeping a safe distance.
That is, until her ex showed up at the tea house she ran. As it happened, Zhao Lulan was there too.
The moment their eyes met, Zhao Lulan took her hand and pulled her to his side, then casually wrapped an arm around her waist.
He bent down, his thin lips nearly brushing Song Yao's ear. His gaze darkened as he said,
"Don't look at other men."

Before long, Song Yao began thinking about divorce.
She felt that the balance she'd maintained with Zhao Lulan had been upset.
He would hold her hand tightly in front of everyone, kiss her cheek, and hug her without letting go.
It made her feel uncertain.
Who could have guessed that on the day they signed the divorce agreement, they would engage in the very dangerous behavior the agreement explicitly forbade?
When she woke the next morning, Song Yao was full of regret.
"Since I was the one who broke the agreement, let's sign the divorce papers now."
Zhao Lulan gazed at her and said in a low voice, "What, weren't you satisfied with my performance last night?"
Song Yao: "?"
Song Yao: "That's not what I meant..."
She couldn't help thinking it over. Actually, she'd been pretty satisfied. There was no reason they couldn't meet up to take care of their needs after the divorce.
But Zhao Lulan's gaze suddenly turned icy. He gripped her wrist and said forcefully, "Song Yao, don't even think about leaving me in this lifetime."
